Polar Nematic Phases with Enantiotropic Ferro- and Antiferroelectric Behavior
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Natalia Podoliak +4
The recent discovery of a new ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystalline phase became of utmost interest for the liquid crystal (LC) and the whole soft and condensed matter fiel…

Dual tunability of selective reflection by light and electric field for self-organizing materials
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Martin Cigl, PaweÅ Perkowski +3
The oblique helicoidal structure is formed in right-angle cholesterics under the applied electric field. The electric field changes the pitch and cone angle but preserves the singl…

The balance between paraelectricity and ferroelectricity in non-chiral smectic homologs
Dorota WÄgÅowska, MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Robert Dzienisiewicz +4
Non-chiral liquid crystals (LCs) exhibiting ferroelectricity, distinguished by their dynamic responsiveness to external stimuli and high spontaneous polarization, provide renewed i…
